My philosophy, Brand and aim in life is to overcome negativity wherever that may be turning negatives to positives.

The Manchester BEE logo, designed by Andrew Alan Matthews, is a result of CBT after surviving decades of stress.

The logo is a representation for turning negative stress into positive experiences.

The swallow, located at the top of the BEE logo, represents my wife leading the way for my recovery and the bee itself represents the symbol of Manchester and myself.

The uroboros dragon represents a positive cycle that I now find myself in.

COMMENTS FROM SALFORD MUSEUM AND ARTGALLERY

Amy Brunn, exhibition manager for Salford Museum and Art Gallery, said:

"Andrew's art is striking, bold, and makes a massive impact in the gallery. His story telling and poetry is a real social commentary on Salford and Manchester and brings the paintings to life. The way he uses the paint in layers, dragging it, produces architectural details and creates characters in his own unique style. This is why we wanted to represent Andy as our inaugral solo artist in our new community exhibition space, The Park Gallery."

Reliving Stories Through Art: Andrew’s Solo Show on Connection and the Urban Landscape

by Emma in Art Shows on Posted onJune 23, 2025

Connection is at the heart of this show. It’s something we talk about often, in life, in love, in art. But rarely do we see it portrayed so powerfully. On the preview night, guests paused in front of certain works, not just because of their composition or scale, but because they felt something. That twinge of recognition. That warm of a memory.

Andrew’s gift is this: he paints not just a place, but how that place feels.

Each piece is rooted in Manchester and Salford, cities that hum with history, resilience, change, and everyday beauty. But instead of simply documenting them, Andrew builds his work with emotion. His canvases are rich with layers of colour, depth, and texture that echo the complexity of the stories we carry.

A Painting That Sparked a Story

One of the most moving moments of the night came from the sale of a major piece that resonated deeply with one guest. The artwork captured a familiar place. It turned out to be somewhere special where he went on a first date with his wife.

Their anniversary is coming up again in August.

It’s a beautiful example of what this exhibition is all about. The art doesn’t just depict; it awakens. It becomes a mirror, reflecting your own story back at you, altered slightly by light and texture and time.

Come and See the Art , Relive Your Stories

We want to invite you — or invite you back — to spend time with the work. Whether you’re from Manchester, Salford, or you’ve only passed through, chances are one of these paintings will feel strangely familiar. The terraced streets, the low skies, the soft defiance of red brick — it’s all there. The city is seen not from above or from afar, but from within. Through the eyes of someone who’s lived it, walked it, loved it.

Each piece of art Andrew has created a poem, when you arrive in the gallery under each piece of art is a QR code to take you too Andrews UTUBE reciting the relevant poem.

This isn’t art to glance at and move on. It’s art to stand in front of. To breathe in. To let memories bubble up.

If a piece speaks to you, don’t be surprised. That’s the magic. These works are alive with your stories too.

Tell Us Your Story

What memories did the art bring up for you? What streets did you walk through in your mind as you wandered the gallery?

We would love to hear your story. Whether it’s a tiny detail or something bigger, like a life event, we want to know how you connect with the work

There’s space in the gallery to leave a note, or you can drop us a message online. In fact, hearing how people respond to the pieces has become one of the most meaningful parts of the show. It’s a reminder that art is a conversation and everyone has something valuable to say.

The exhibition is open until Saturday 27th July, and all the works are available for sale

The Artist Behind the Work

Andrew’s practice is rooted in a deep affection for the North — not just its landmarks, but its moods, its light, and its people.

For Andrew, painting is an act of storytelling. And like all good stories, these paintings make room for your own voice too.

Art as Lifeline How Creativity Saved Andrew Alan Matthews

Emma Evans Blog post 14th July 2025

“Paranoid Schizophrenia” — two words that often provoke fear and stigma. But for Greater Manchester artist Andrew Alan Matthews, this diagnosis became the turning point that helped him heal, not break.

From being inspired at age five by a painting in Salford Art Gallery…
…to having his own work hung in that very same gallery decades later,
Andrew’s story is one of survival, creativity, and quiet resilience.

🎨 Art became his lifeline — a way to process pain, confront stigma, and tell stories words couldn’t hold.

In our latest blog, Andrew opens up about the truth behind living with paranoid schizophrenia, the misconceptions he’s faced, and how painting helped him reclaim his identity.

🧠✨ This blog isn’t just about mental health – it’s about hope, healing, and the power of expression.

📍Andrew’s exhibition is now open at the Emma Evans Gallery, Monton, until July 27th. at Emma Evans Art gallery, 191 Monton Road, Monton, Eccles Manchester, M30 9PN

Come and see the world through his eyes.

How Creativity Saved Andrew Alan Matthews

“Paranoid Schizophrenia” two words that often provokes fear, misunderstanding, and stigma. But for Greater Manchester artist Andrew Alan Matthews, this diagnosis didn’t destroy him; it saved his life. Now a passionate advocate for mental health, Andrew has used his creativity not just to express himself, but to survive, heal, and inspire.

Andrew’s connection to art began early. At just five years old, he encountered Charles Dollman’s painting “Famine” at Salford Art Gallery, a moment that would go on to shape his life. “I was always interested in art after seeing that painting,” he said. “It inspired me to become an artist.”

That early spark never faded. Last year, decades after his first inspiration, Andrew saw his own painting, Salford and Manchester by Night, displayed in the very same gallery. It was a powerful full-circle moment for the artist, a symbol of his resilience and growth through some of life’s most difficult challenges.

in 1996, Andrew began experiencing extreme stress, though he didn’t recognise it as such at the time. “I believed someone at work had laced a cake with laxatives. I was under pressure and paranoid. It was completely against my nature, but I retaliated. That one small act became the worst thing I’ve ever done. And it set off a chain of events that spiralled.”

That spiral led to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia at age 28. It was a life-changing moment, but ultimately a turning point. Andrew says, “Small things can snowball into bigger problems, and that’s what happened to me.”

Misconceptions about schizophrenia are common and damaging. While media portrayals often depict individuals with schizophrenia as violent or dangerous, the truth tells a different story. People with schizophrenia account for less than 10% of all violent crimes. Most, like Andrew, are more likely to be vulnerable themselves.

“Luckily, I’m on the lowest side of the scale, the tip of the iceberg,” Andrew explains. “But every time you hear the words ‘paranoid schizophrenia’, you think of a mass-murdering psychopath. That is nothing like me. People assume you can just ‘snap out of it’ or ‘get out of bed’, but sometimes you simply can’t.”

During his most difficult periods, art became more than a passion – it became a lifeline. Andrew’s creative work offered an outlet for the emotions and thoughts he struggled to express in words. In paint and canvas, he found clarity, comfort, and purpose.

Andrew agrees. His collections often reflect his personal journey with mental health. Through his vivid depictions of Salford, Manchester, and beyond, he creates more than scenes – he tells stories. Stories of struggle, healing, community, and resilience.

“I think mental health is a big issue that isn’t highlighted enough,” he says. “You have different people with different types of mental illnesses, but all too often, they are lumped together or misunderstood. It’s taken me decades to overcome the stress and stigma that came with my diagnosis.”

With approximately 85 in every 10,000 people affected by paranoid schizophrenia at some point in their lives, Andrew’s story is more common than many might realise. Yet few speak openly about it.

That’s why Andrew is committed to telling his story. Not for sympathy, but for solidarity. Not to dwell on the pain, but to spotlight the healing. His latest exhibition highlights both the evolution of the urban environment and the personal transformations that come with adversity.

Whether it’s a nostalgic painting of the old Rialto cinema (now replaced by a McDonald’s) or a moody cityscape of Salford at night, his work captures both the external and internal landscapes of change.

Andrew’s story reminds us that art is not just decoration. It is communication. It is therapy. It is survival.

And most of all, it is hope.

His exhibition is open now until July 27th at the Emma Evans Gallery in Monton. Come and see the world through Andrew’s eyes – and perhaps, understand a little more about the stories we all carry within us.
